LONDON (Oct. 20)

The Times reported today that 20,000 troops are expected to remain in Palestine during the investigation of the British Royal Commission, which is soon to inquire into the causes of the recent disorders. The troops will probably continue the military manoeuvres interrupted at Sussex last month when they were mobilized for service in the Holy Land, the paper said.
